ROCHESTER — In less than a month, local community members will go around the clock in the battle against cancer. From Saturday, June 22 to Sunday, June 23, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Rochester will get underway with teams of residents gathering at the Spaulding High School track.

This year's goal is to have 1,000 event participants and to raise $250,000. We know we can accomplish this if the greater Rochester area comes together to help us in this effort. There are various ways you can help, and any and all support is greatly appreciated!

To help Relay, you can:

-- Participate: Event participants work in teams to raise money before and during the event. They pledge to have a team member on the track throughout the night, demonstrating that as long as cancer has not stopped, we won’t either.

-- Volunteer: We need volunteer help for various event activities and projects, including event set-up and take-down.

-- Donate: Any and all donations are needed! You can donate to the event online, through an event participant or during the day of the event!

-- Sponsor: Our lifesaving work in the fight against cancer would not be possible without the generosity of sponsoring businesses. There are a variety of sponsorship levels to choose from, but each level provides your company with valuable visibility.
